To anyone watching this and thinking about getting spacers.. BUY A TORQUE WRENCH SO YOU CAN TORQUE THE LUGS TO SPEC. You don't need locktite as long as you torque the lugs to spec. The horror stories you read about online with bolt on spacers coming off is of people that don't torque them to spec.
Coming from a guy who has worked at a tire shop for a few years now I can not agree more, the little rachet wrench does nothing when the car has a torque spec of 150 ft lbs. Otherwise great job getting hub centric spacers.
After 9 months of ownership of a 2018 Mustang Ecoboost I today, upgraded to a lightly used 2018 Mustang GT 🙏 I am insanely happy and in love! Nothing can describe the smile on my face when I hear the V8 Roar!
Ramon Martinez any good tires? I would run nittos but since they are so soft I don’t wanna kill my pockets lol I was thinking some Michelin’s? Something I can use on a daily drive but also be cool when I wanna have fun
TheSneakerJury I would get with 305 in the rear those are really popular & for the tire I would go with the Michelin pilot sport 4s really good street tire, don’t go with the cup 2s those are track tires
Having someone in the car applying the brakes would be so much better when properly torquing the spacer lugs. You can even wedge a 2x4 between the seat and brake pedal to hold down the pedal.
I run the sportlines with spacers also on my 2016 mustang gt. I was scared to do it at first. i was worried about scraping also. I was super surprised that I currently have zero issues with scraping or bumps. and it looks and feels amazing.
Spacers make the OEM wheels look much better. I put 25mm on the front and 20mm Eibach on the rear with my PP wheels and IMO they look perfect. I did add the splash guards from CJ Pony parts to hopefully keep rocks from hitting the sides. It has been 3 yrs and they are still working out great. Oh, and I did use some antisieze on the spacer to hub contact spots just to be sure it doesn't stick. The car looks amazing, Rush!
@@colton8143 no, it's not, but it would probably be ok if it isn't lowered too much. If you are already lowered, I'd say buy one set of spacers and try them out on both the front and rear to see how they work.
Hey man, I'm considering putting a set of spacers on my 18 pony, have you had ANY issues with your wheel bearings? I've heard that spacers add more pressure to them. Your feedback will be appreciated. 👍
@@vicrefalo3273 no, no issues with them and I'm at 68k miles. I have some clunks in the suspension when I hit bumps, but I know one of the front control arms is worn and I suspect the sway bar links might be too. But those should not have any relation to using spacers. I plan on looking at the suspension in depth next month when I have some time off.
@@trbstang Thank you for getting back to me with your update. The CLUNKS are a bit of a concern to me, to be on the safe side I would jack up each wheel and check for any movement or play by rocking the wheel, if you have ANY movement it's indication of a bad bearing. If not you're GOOD to go. I'd be interested to get your feedback. Have a GREAT DAY. 👍
The Pro lowering kit was a good choice and I had Sportsline done on my Accord and was the BIGGEST mistake and never again! I did buy the Pro kit for my 16 GT but had to send it back to AM as my GF's driveway lip was already too high for the stock height so it wasn't worth having to worry about scraping and damaging the front lip.
Anything that makes the handling better usually makes the comfortability get worse. Stiffening suspension makes u feel everything in your back/seat, but makes the car corner and hook up better. U can throw some fortune autos on that are insanely expensive and if you have the car in a low mode then your only paying for being able to adjust the height when its parked or cruising, but you are still gonna feel the bumps a bunch. If you want performance then you gotta sacrifice comfort and smoothness. But if you get a progressive style spring you wont have as much instant handling but you will have a much smoother ride then linear springs
Just get wider rims and tires.... I have 19x9.5 on front and 19x11 on back.. 2018 Mustang. I know people that are putting 19x10 up front.. I would highly advise against spacers for any sports car
Hub centric are fine, spacers like these are safe as long as you know how to tight them up and put them up like rush did. I've had back spacers for a year and they've been perfect
I agree.. put wider tires or wider tires and wheels on. I have a 2019 PP1 GT and took the 275/40/19 rears and put them on the front and put 295/35/19 rears on and it made it look a lot better without running silly spcers. Running 450-480 rwhp in these cars with e85 and headers etc and racing constantly and doing 140+ mph is insane to have spacers.. if anything happened or something fails your insurance will laugh at you while you are out a car and possibly a legal suit from another car. Don’t risk it and just buy wider tires. Tires wear fast on these cars anyways lol.
Yo Rush the stang lookin Beautiful oh and for the calipers I think like a Neon Purple just a suggestion but it will match incredibly well with interior purple lighting👌🏼
Yeah, but in my case, I have to see what size? spacer because my rims are 18x9.5, and stock rims are 19x8.5.... yours look very nice stance with your spacers, I'm hoping that, my car gets delivered in 2 weeks so I can test all the parts I purchase....
I’m apparently the only one who noticed that my man DIDN’T USE A F**KIN TORQUE WRENCH. The ‘18-‘19 pony with PPL1 has a torque spec of 150 ft./lbs. on the wheels alone(I know this cause I own a ‘19).....and I think the spacers are supposed to be torqued to 80 ft./lbs. ..... this dude used a ratchet to tighten errthang down and kept sticking his thumb in the air saying “good to go”.....NNOOOOOT!!! Also, I’ve seen some comments on here giving kudos for this car being “murdered out” .... this car (while beautiful) is not murdered out...... grey wrap and chrome accents disqualifies it from that category. My “Mistress Chloe” is 99% murdered out sporting only minor red accents......however she is gloss black and not flat black as per the definition, but still a vision of loveliness!😍
I'm not saying they are, but the way you explained it makes the spacers seem like they may be knock-offs. $40 cheaper on Amazon, no Coyote print, and on the box there's simply a sticker for branding.
im going to order the 1inch spacers for all four corners, did you have any issue after lowering the car in the front, any rubbing? i have a performance pack as well with stock wheels, not sure if yours on this vid are the stock ones, eventually i will buy some lowering springs but will probably buy the ford performance ones(the magnaride compatible ones)
How much space more did you get from the wheels spokes to the brembo caliper?.. I bought brembos that I can’t install because my wheels (20x10 45 offset) did not clear the calipers. :( I have 14 5.50
I just got new wheels and decided I wanted a widebody kit after the fact and I need 2” spacers on all 4 wheels. Would that be safe to run if they’re high quality ? I’m really not trying to pay 3-4k+ for another set of wheels and tires
Hey Rush, just purchased a 2020 mustang gt after long time watching your videos and I was wondering if you know any shop in OC where I can get a Eibach prokit and spacers installed. Been doing some research myself but was wondering if you know any trustworthy services around the area. Thanks !
So with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and 1 inch spacers do you have any issues? I'm looking into doing that when I get my Mustang Ecoboost next year. Would it still work for a 19 or 20 inch rim?
I have the spacers already but i want to go with the sport line will it rub if i go that low ? Now that i seen you video i think ama go pro kit asswell my drive way is Steep
@@zach891 I haven't been to the dragstrip yet but with everyday driving and a pull here and there the car feels the same. The hub centric ones fit pretty tight so I don't think they have issues like the old school ones
@@zach891 Installed front/rear 25mm ZY wheel adapters on my 2019 Mustang GT PP1 a couple of weeks ago and shortly after noticed the front passengers' side wheel adapter was cracked in 4 of the 5 OEM lug stud holes. As the Coyote brand, the ZY wheel adapters purchased from Amazon list similar specs (6061-T6 Billet Aluminum and hub centric). My OEM studs are 36mm and stick beyond the spacer around 10.5mm. The indentation between stud holes on the PP1 OEM Rims is 10mm, so when pulling the wheel out noticed that OEM studs had left a mark approximately 0.5mm deep. ZY has send replacements (good customer service) and recently I have replaced the cracked wheel adapter. I have filed the end of the OEM stud approximately 1mm. I have also lowered the torque on adapters/wheels from 120/150 ft-lb to 110/140 ft-lb respectively, since the aluminum adapter nut casing would require less torque. I'll keep inspecting these wheel adapters for a while. I'm surprised that Rush have not noticed this fitment issue with his similar configuration 2019 Mustang GT w/PP1.
I bought mine 2 years ago when I bought my 2018 but have yet to put them on because I’m kind of nervous about it. Also it was said that the spacers weren’t made for the front. I bought all four anyway and would like to finally put them on. What’s the psi for the lugs set at?
6ixSpeedStang18 spacers are fine as long as they’re hubcentric like the ones rush got. Just be sure to install them properly and you should no problems

Damn the car looks great! Lovin your progression in the build to make it your own. Keep up the great work !
I like the videos where you install the mods yourself!!!!
Gloss black the front pony on grill! Would set it off nicely! Looks great though!
You should wrap the gt emblem on your deck lid and horse I think it would look way better
The car is lookin great! We have very similar taste...less is more!👍 your videos are some of the best out there..
The spacers and the springs are just right. Super clean.
Mustang looking real good bro keep up the good work ✊🏾
Change those lugnuts out for some black ones. .I done that and 1 inch spacers all around. Made a huge difference

That’s great definitely put those spacers on ! I’ll do on mine too it will look way better .. yours look way cooler cheap way to make it
Look meaner
The spacers do make it look much better.
I understand why you did it, I just can’t justify altering something mechanical for ascetics
I hope you did an alignment after the lowering springs install! Coilovers would've been a better option, lowering springs makes the ride rougher.
True but there’s probably atleast a 1000 dollar difference between those two options

Hey Rush, nice mod. I like the new look of the mustang. The new look from the wrap and the wheels make the car look more mean.

How much did that Steeda clutch assist spring help u. I cannot get used to this clutch feel.
I had one on my 15 GT. It was a great aid for the odd feeling pedal take up on these cars.
Kevin Skonieczny cool. Thanks man.
Yes the spacers up front are not advised. You push your car kinda hard so Id be careful. All that money you got just buy larger rims lol.
You can still put a spacer up front but it’s recommended to do a 20mm spacer no more than that
You can put 20mm spacers on the front & you won’t have any problems, anything bigger you’ll have problems
That dash looks sooooo fucking sick
what's that spoiler called bro?? looks sick
